Topic 9.2 Skills and Skill-Related Fitness
Have you ever considered what skill-related fitness components are necessary for successfully performing the skills in your favorite sports or activities? If you haven’t, divide a piece of paper into two columns. In the first column list your favorite sports or activities; in the second column list the skill-related fitness components necessary for successfully performing these activities. The following is an example using my favorite sports.
| Sports or activities | Skill-related fitness components |
| Hockey |
Agility, balance, coordination, speed, power, reaction time |
| Snowboarding |
Agility, balance, coordination, reaction time |
| Golf |
Coordination, balance |
As you can see from this example, hockey is a sport that requires all components of skill-related fitness. Now, can you add a column and identify some of the most important skills in these sports?
